The Boldt Castle - Alster Tower
Standing proudly on Heart Island, Alster Tower looks like it was lifted straight from a medieval fairytale. Built by George C. Boldt, the visionary hotel magnate behind New York’s legendary Waldorf-Astoria, this remarkable stone tower was part of his dream to create an extraordinary island retreat.
Surrounded by the sparkling waters of the St. Lawrence River, its turrets, towers, and rugged stone walls tell a story of ambition, romance, and dreams left unfinished. Today, Alster Tower invites us to wander beyond the ordinary, explore the unexpected, and imagine the grand possibilities hidden within every journey. ✨🏰🌊
